Been a week since I felt like writing in here. A week is long enough. It has been really pretty here but not warm....50ish..... but sunny blue skys. I'll take that over rain anyday!!

Have spent most of this week's spare time working on a new song. it was inspired by a piece I found on the Celtic Knot Blog (see my link to it) called "Peaches" I was so taken by the piece that I wrote a song based on it. I played it for the author of the original piece and she was less than enthusiastic..... so it seemed. But..... she didn't poo-poo the idea and offered some ideas to help the wording. I had to laugh at one point in our conversation..... she obviously was struggling with my choice of words and said to me " We're not selling peaches" . No, it's not peaches I'm selling in this song........ not in the usual sense any way!! What a great lady she is....soft southern accent, quick wit....awesome writer. I encourage you to go and read her works.

I offer my own poor rendition of her fine piece..... let me know what you think.... there is still time to edit!! Keep in mind this is from a guys view. It's a southern blues piece!

Sweet Georgia Peaches

I love those sweet Georgia peaches

so furry round and ripe.

I love those sweet Georgia peaches

they're such a suc-u-lent delight

the way they dribble down my chin

everytime I take a bite.

There's little boys a-playin on their skateboards in the street

don't you worry 'bout them, momma, they'll be just fine you wait an' see.

I hear those neighbor girls a gigglin', oh that sound's so soft and sweet.

I love those sweet Georgia peaches

so furry round and ripe.

I love those sweet Georgia peaches

they're such a suc-u-lent delight

the way they dribble down my chin

everytime I take a bite.

Oh that moon will make it's entrance, hangin' low above the trees

it's so big and round and orange. Just like a sweet ol' Georgia peach

And the sky is laced with ribbons all in lavender and pink.

That evenin' breeze comes whisperin'. It's so soft and so cool

and those moonflowers are achin' just to open up and taste the dew.

It's a perfect summer evenin' to be on this porch with you.

Oh I love those sweet Georgia peaches

so furry, round and ripe.

I love those swe-eet Georgia peaches

they're such a sen-su-al delight

the way they dribble down your chin

everytime you take a bite.

the way they dribble down your chin

is such a sen-su-al delight!

My thanks and appreciation to Beckett for allowing me to interpret her work this way..... yer da best, girl!!
